How to achieve different finishes on Natural Stone

LTP MATTSTONE (Natural Finish): Apply evenly to the surface using an applicator pad or soft cloth. Leave the sealer to absorb into the stone for 30 minutes. Work into and then buff off any excess using a micro-fibre cloth. Apply further coats using the same method until the stone is fully saturated. Leave to cure overnight. This should be done before grouting. Finish by applying a further coat of sealer making sure to cover the joints as well.

Buff off any excess sealer between coats…allow to dry for 24 hours before allowing heavy traffic.

IMPORTANT NOTES:Over applied sealer left to dry on the surface can be removed with the application of a little more sealer, which should then be buffed immediately to remove the excess. If left for too long then removal can be achieved using LTP Power Stripper in which case surfaces will need to be re-treated.This information is offered without guarantee. The material should be used so as to take account of the local conditions and the surfaces to be treated. In case of doubt, the products should be tried out in an inconspicuous area before general application.
